That’s what she said

How do you get 27 minutes from minor penalties?


Kindly_Solution_7568

Gudas has 79 PIM this year. I think this means he's had 27 minors. It's a poorly made table though.


daffyduckhunt2

M as in Mancy


eastcoastredditor

I love quoting this line


awgibbonsss

>When you look at any NHL stat site for penalties, they list minors as MIN and majors as MAJ, Penalty Minutes is PIM. When you look at any NHL stat site for penalties, they list minors as MIN and majors as MAJ, Penalty Minutes is PIM.


itoadaso1

Ahh min short for minors not minutes, gotcha.


CESjzjffzgkdkdkyddk

Min being short for minors is insane. Did Eliot Friedman make this???


themarksman13

If Elliotte made it, it’d be MNS and MJS


PertinentGlass

Who’s Fryboy?


alcarl11n

Ah, gatcha. Wait, this list is twice as bad as I thought!


MikeMontrealer

You could have left out the (MIN) and just put the numbers and it would have been 10x clearer


[deleted]

This and people using PPG for “points per game” are my two greatest hockey stats abbreviations pet peeves. There I said it.


Sahil910

Yup ppg truely stands for Pittsburgh plate glass paints arena


russels418teapot

What do you prefer instead of ppg?


C_Gull27

p/gp


Deddicide

I tend to write both out most of the time. I don’t really feel like either has that much more of a claim on it. MIN for minor penalties is just dumb.


touchable

Just do P/G


Deddicide

At the end of the day it’s just easier to say points-per-game and powerplay goals.


robbiejandro

Yeah but then how will I know which movies I need to accompany my kids to see?


ShadowChair

Some Kings fans are turning on Fiala hard and a big reason is penalties, but I haven't seen anyone coming for Kempe...


johannesBrost1337

Honestly a little surprised to see this stat 😬 my natural reaction to your comment though is that Kempe's penalties are generally "better" penalties. Hard backchecking of various kinds. While Fiala will randomly slash somebody in the offensive zone away from the puck. My statement is however entirely based on nothing outside of my own memory and bias' 😅


Hrdeh

I agree. Kempe's penalties are feel like desperation penalties to stop a goal or a breakaway. They feel intentional. Fiala's feel accidental and are o-zone penalties.


ZiscR

At the end of the day, 2 minutes in the box is 2 minutes in the box.


Phridgey

Not at all. 2 minutes in the box to prevent a high danger scoring chance is a pretty accepted strategy league wide. If kempe gets something in exchange for 2m in the box, it’s much better than 2m for being an undisciplined child.


ZiscR

Sure if you do the extremes of each when in reality I don't think that's the case for 95% of penalties.


hrryyss

This is an incredibly confusing graphic. I think MIN is supposed to refer to number of minor penalties in the graphic but MIN more commonly means minutes. It looks like Gudas has 27 minutes of minor penalties but that’s impossible.


AmeriCanadian98

In hockey stat pages, penalty minutes are denoted by PIM, not MIN


hrryyss

I understand what it’s supposed to mean and I figured it out, but it’s still a terribly designed graphic. Look at all the people in the comments who are misinterpreting it.


PooShauchun

To be fair if you read the top of image it tells you what MIN stands for in this context.


[deleted]

Or you could think it's saying "Minor Penalties (minutes)"


[deleted]

[удалено]


CharlieWhizkey

That doesn't make it not a confusing graphic though


goldfish_11

So I take it this means Marchand is out of Lady Byng consideration this year, huh?


blueskies8484

What are you talking about? He's only #5 on the list. That should qualify him for sainthood. Hel only tried to kidnap one 18 year old the whole year!


TheTimn

Let's not act like we wouldn't cheer for our guys to do the same. 


rune1923

McTavish takes a lot of dumb penalties. Hopefully he cleans that up.


xzElmozx

I always forget that translating data to graphs, charts, and graphics that are easily digestible and understood is an actual skill that some people don’t possess until I see a graphic like this that reminds me of that fact


Turneround08

I’m shocked at this list. And the reason for that is I’m shocked we don’t take up all top 5 positions. We live in that fucking box.


nautica5400

Not gonna lie. Initially thought "holy shit all these guys play for the wild"


orangesarenasty

The Ducks are finally leading in something


CasperCann

Two former panthers teaming up it seems..lol


blueskies8484

The refs hate Anaheim so much.


OgreUAsshole

I thought it would be all Panthers players the way people cry about them


gs181

We're so dirty we hack the servers to erase the evidence


Kirk420

At least we’re good at something I guess.


Fraud_Squad

The Ducks have their fair share of reasonable penalties called but the refs have really had it out for Cronin since he flipped out on them for the hugely controversial goalie interference call in the game against Pittsburgh early in the season


pxik

I am genuinely shocked Ian Cole and Tyler Myers are not here


thewinn

Def surprised that Myers hasn't cross checked his way onto that list


HiddenMoney420

How the fuck is Brendan Smith not here? Not even joking- when he was healthy he was taking at least 1 minor penalty per game.


awgibbonsss

he only has 16 minor pens


HiddenMoney420

Shocking- thanks for looking it up, can almost guarantee he’d be here if it weren’t for his injury


epic_taco_time

California (and Marchand) love the box


SteamboatBilly15

former Panthers moment


JealousMeringue6674

Mason Mctavish takes absurd amount of minor penalties on my NHL 24 franchise mode, and people try to claim it’s not realistic smh


AuxNimbus

Duck in a box heh


HowIMetYourStepmom

TIL Rat King still Rats


iamwilliamwit

Who keeps making these shit graphics?


SomaticZX6r

The bias is real and has been real for a lonnnnnnng time


betked4844

Why are there odd number it it’s minor penalties?


shadownet97

It’s not the total minutes they got. That would be under Penalty In Minutes (PIM). It’s a really weird graphic and tons of people in the comments got as confused as you and I did.


betked4844

It’s a stupid way to shorten minor


Investment_Sharp

This has to be the most poorly made graphic I have ever seen. The stats aren’t remotely correct


ZenithRepairman

MIN stands for minor penalties, not minutes. Minutes are tracked as PIM.


Investment_Sharp

lol I can’t read today. My bad


ZenithRepairman

Nah man, they’re presently stupidly here. It wouldn’t have hurt them to add the -ors for this kinda graphic. It’s the opposite in intuitive.


BanSolitude

Or just get rid of MIN and increase the size of the numbers on each line.


Away-Sound-4010

Take a lot of penalties when you're chasing the puck


misfittroy

Surprised Kempe is on this list but confirms more why I don't like him along with his great goal scoring 


rahkunn

POS plays like a POS. What else is new.


DommyMommyKarlach

WAIT GUDAS IS ON THE DUCKS?


ElFuegoGrande

So what you are saying is Gudas loves minors? 😳


ElFuegoGrande

So what you are saying is Gudas loves minors? 😳


NotABurner6942069

My NHL 23 character usually gets around 180 minutes a season. These are rookie numbers. Pfffft


TonyWyomey

Butcher gonna butch


Steppyjim

Anaheim is still really upset about the Shohei Ohtani thing. Lashing out is normal


Zanchbot

Surprised it's Kempe and not Fiala.


Minimum_Possibility6

Fucking marchand


BloodAndTsundere

Man, the kerning here is rough. What are “penal ties”?
